Well I have finished reading this book and I can say it was worth it.

woman with books

The big point I took  is that your Irresistible Offer is not a USP.It has three elements to it.A high ROI,a touchstone and believability.

What is a touchstone?It is a statement that covers the four big questions mentioned in my first post.It must be clear simple,brief and have a sense of immediancy.By that I mean it is clear to the customer whether they want your product or not.

There is no need for any “well I need to think about it”.They buy there are then or they never buy- ever.

These days the believability part is covered by your money back offer.Many online products are being  offered with a  money back guarantee that run for 12 months.Hey, you are going to know long before then if it will work or not.But a guarantee  gives your customers extra confidence to buy.

So  great book-go and get it now.

Best wishes Andrew


The Irrestistable Offer: a review of the book by Mark Joyner

Posted: December 4th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: books | Tags: , , , , , , , , , | 6 Comments »

I am reading a great book right now called The Irresistible Offer: How to Sell Your Product or Service in 3 Seconds or Less by Mark Joyner.In it he sets out four questions a customer must have answered if they are to rush and buy your product.They are

  1. What are you trying to sell me?
  2. How much?
  3. What’s in it for me?
  4. Why should I believe you?

This offer was used to great effect by Domino’s Pizza.You know the line “your pizza in 30 mins or less or you get it free”.

Really study that line because it took Dominos to the top even though for many people their pizzas are not that great.

You make think that the Irresistible Offer is the same as a Unique Selling Proposition but Joyner says that uniqueness will not get someone down to shop to but the product there and then.A USP will not answer the 4 questions above.

Then he delves into ways of making the offer even better like pricing tricks and risk reversal.But hey I am giving too much away.Get the book now.

I’ll give you an update when I’ve finished the book.
